can't install Redhat Linux V3 upgrade for Itanium 2 on rx5670

Hello,
I have been trying to install Red Hat linux
for Itanium (V3 upgrade) on a rx5670. When on efi prompt elilo is run the vmlinuz and the initrd are
loaded onto the system, but the system hangs at this point.

I tried to run the hp enablement kit and got the initial menu. When an item was selected vmlinuz was loaded but again the system hung. I was told may be the efi had to be downgraded.

The latest servers can't install RedHat linux.

Any help is really appreciated. I can provide the serial number for the box.

Thanks,
Kallol Biswas
